It depends on industry but this has been a common experience I have had with consulting. Firms want strong credentials to present clients and this can be one of the important ones.

Agreed, to some extent.

I think you are underestimating the extent that networking and communication play a role in many jobs, and being able to discuss these topics is very important in that context. I regularly attend social events related to work, and my wife is an admissions director at a private school, and as part of that we have to go…

I have had multiple jobs where I had to submit transcripts as part of the application. At the very least its common practice to post your GPA on your resume.

That was why I clicked this. I actually think its a fantastic idea. Sort of like doing the interview in reverse.

I recently got my masters in economics and TA'd while I was there. Almost unanimously the kids who had previous army experience were some of my best students. A lot of it may have to do with the fact that they are 22 years olds with previous work experience and training in a class with 18 year olds ready to party,…

I have a Nexus 10 and I would mostly agree with it. Some of the scaling is REALLY bad (FB as you mention, and Bloomberg's news app is literally unreadable).

Good thing I almost never open the "Promotions" tab. Most of the stuff I get in there is spam anyway that I've been too lazy to unsubscribe from.

When your contract is up I recommend switching to prepaid. If its GSM you a lot of options, all using T-mobile or AT&T networks. If its Verizon CDMA, you should be able to bring it to Net10, not sure what other companies allow this.

I switched to prepaid recently and loved it. I'm on Net10 so I can use AT&T (T-mo service doesn't really work in my house), and I don't understand why people would pay so much. $45 a month for unlimited everything, and if you have two phones its $85.

Yeah it definitely is a moneymaker, but I guess that's where it gives you more room to negotiate.

This is also another benefit you can leverage with 6 (CPO). I recently bought a CPO Golf TDI. I was able to negotiate them down to about $750 over Edmund's TMV, which was what I was willing to pay. They refused to budge on the price, but I got them them to take the interest rate to 1 percent, while the best rate I…

Weapons charges are also only applicable in limited states. For instance, you can't carry a firearm in New York City, but in Vermont you can carry concealed without a permit.

I work in consulting. I had a coworker who last summer went on vacation for a long weekend in San Francisco. I believe she left on a Thursday.

I'm not for wind and solar, but I'm from the Northeast where we have Nuclear and Hydro. The former is the optimal option IMHO.

I live in Colorado also (Denver), and we live in an old "shotgun style" house. We have a fan running cool air through the front, and another one in the back as an exhaust, and the house cools down to below 70 degrees when we wake up (from 80-90 during the day, even with the windows closed). It works well.

That looks like 1800 gallons according to Google?

I would argue in Colorado at least that the extra water usage pales in comparison to the coal based electricity we use to run the AC.

Haha, good to know.

Thanks, good information. As I tried to convey, I don't really know much about this stuff, it was just what I recall hearing. It could very well all be myths.
